19 new social homes to be delivered for growing county Kilkenny community

Thomastown is set to get 19 new social homes, in a boost for families on the local authority housing waiting list.

15 will be funded directly by Kilkenny County Council, with a further four expected through a Part Five agreement with the developer.

Local TD John McGuinness says work is expected to get underway this month, and he outlined to KCLR News the types of properties coming on stream.
